I have that same rice cooker. Zojirushi. It’s pretty solid, so I’d bet whatever fancy crap it uses to tell if it’s properly cooked probably helped the way his stuff turned out
Yeah, that Zojirushi has enough computers in it to adjust to most user mistakes. And anyone spending the money on one would know that.
You know it’s a premium rice cooker when the alarm sound is a music jingle. My microwave wishes it were that sophisticated.
Had to replace the microwave recently after the last one crapped out. This new one also has a jingle. Why does every machine need a jingle now? The dryer has a jingle. It’s not even that fancy.
Eating that nonsense only prolongs the “I shit in my pants” years.
Haven’t sorted laundry in like 20 years at least. If I get a brand new pair of jeans or something like that I’ll separate it for a load or two but that’s it.
Modern dyes and detergents fixed this. It was a problem decades ago.
Idk. I have still had problems with white shirts going pink or baby blue. Everything else doesn’t matter.
It does still happen but the problem is much better
brand new pair of jeans or something like that I’ll separate it for a load or two
Maybe grow some cojones instead?
I just blow my load in my jeans, if you let it build up then it has the same effect as starch. Keeps them nice and crisp.
Ok, time for me to go outside.
I kind of like my “new” blue towels.
IDK about different settings on the cooker having an effect (mine is super simple and has only two settings: on and off) but if I tried making brown rice with the ssme ratio of water as white, I would end up with uncooked rice.
I use the same ratio, 1:1, but for brown rice I start it with boiled water.
They turn off when they get above 100C, when all the water is absorbed/evaporated.
Folding clothes. After realizing that I’ve spent years grabbing clothes out of the hamper and no one seemed to notice, I decided to buy a fancy wood hamper that looks like a dresser and put my clothes in it right after they come out the dryer.
Unpopular opinion: the microwave popcorn button.
Let me introduce you to Technology Connections report on the matter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Limpr1L8Pss
I thought I was the only one who’d watch this guy!
You’re not alone! I’ll gladly listen to him explain the refrigeration cycle again and again and again and how everything is just a worse heart pump.
I’m in the process of buying a new house. So I was looking at one last week, and the smoke detector just kept chirping.
And I was just about to say “Did you know there’s actually two types of these?”
And just as I was about to say that, I got sad in realizing that I’d then be obligated to elaborate, and now I’m spending 45 minutes talking about a topic that neither of us wants being discussed right now.
But it was in my head at that moment.
I subscribe! …but don’t usually watch
Can I please get a tldw? I love the idea of technology connections. But who has the time?
I watched a while ago so I may misremember.
Cheap ones are just a timer that works for most common microwave popcorn packages.
Good ones detect the first popped kernel and then go for another 30s, as stated on most microwave popcorn packages
iirc there are also some that detect humidity and infer when to stop from that somehow
I watched it. It was a great video.
It’s less than twenty minutes. How much brain rot do you have?
There are more reasons than just brain rot for not wanting to spend 20 minutes of your free time watching a video about popcorn settings on microwaves.
What a bizarre thing to say. What else are you going to do? /s
How much brain rot do you have that those overly verbose videos seem like a better alternative than a quick writeup?
That depends. Cheap bullshit microwaves just have a preloaded time and power level, but microwaves with humidity sensors inside will run based on that when you use the popcorn button. Sometimes there are other buttons that make use of that sensor too.
But yeah, you’re really best off throwing it on like 4 minutes and standing there waiting for the popping to trail off and then manually stop it, usually like 3 minutes in. Depends on your microwave wattage.
If the brown rice is parboiled, then yeah, you should be able to cook it on the white rice setting all the same. The difference between the white/brown rice settings is just time.
Never cared for what they say 🎵
anyone can seeeeee
A lot my friend, a lot.
